The original members of David Bowie's band will reunite for Bowie: Live on the Loch, a two-day charity celebration in aid of Save the Children to commemorate ten years since the legend's passing. 

Beginning on Saturday 7 November with an exclusive black-tie gala dinner set within Cameron House, Loch Lomond, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland, the centrepiece of the evening will be Regent Sounds Presents: Earl Slick's Rock 'n' Roll Guitar Auction. Hosted by Bowie's longest-serving guitarist Earl Slick and the legendary London guitar shop - the auction will feature a once-in-a-lifetime collection of priceless, signed, collector-grade guitars.

Then, on Sunday, 8 November, a once-in-a-lifetime live show will see Earl Slick joined on stage by past members of David Bowie's band, including Mike Garson, Mark Plati, Sterling Campbell and Gail Ann Dorsey, alongside special guest performers. The weekend will serve as a powerful continuation of Bowie's philanthropic legacy and his profound connection to Scotland.

Reflecting on the unique format, Earl Slick says: "David had a lot of motivation to help out. It wasn't a big bragging thing - it was just done. That's what I loved about it. He did it under the radar. We all live in increasingly uncertain and turbulent times around the world. More kids need more help. So it's time to do it and I cannot think of anything that David would rather lend his support to."

Bowie himself was a supporter of Save The Children, famously giving the proceeds of his 50th birthday celebration at Madison Square Garden in 1997 to the charity.

George Graham, Executive Director of Global Impact at Save the Children, also says: "We are deeply grateful to everyone who is honouring David Bowie by backing this star-studded weekend, which will help bring a better future for children here in the UK and around the world."
